Can I just encourage people to get together with the other Christians where you find yourself and organise a hustings ASAP?
How to do this:
1. Go to the Make the Cross Count Website and get their hustings guide.
2. Contact the churches in your area and get them involved.
3. Make sure that you get hold of the manifesto documents from each of the parties and read them, making sure that things which you think contradict your faith are highlighted, and
4. Ask your candidate questions about things that matter. We should not vote by party but by candidate. I would rather have a Lib Dem (AKA 'wasted vote) MP who is pro-life and supportive of what I consider to be 'Christian issues' than vote on party political lines and have someone who will act against my beliefs.
Remember - Tony Bliar got into power because he 'wasn't conservative'. His government were elected without any promises, policies or direction on the basis that they were not conservative. Let's not make the same mistake again, being 'not Labour' is not enough.
What a shame Lord Sutch has gone - he'd have made a great PM (as would John Smith also have done).
USE YOUR VOTE WISELY AND PRAYERFULLY
[please note, this is the only political or election-related post you'll see :-))
